New sock account created to continue the master's edit warring-most notably on Giganotosaurus (sockmaster BLAZZE92), Ankylosaurus (ipsock BLAZZE92), Blue whale (blocked sock BLAZZE92), and Dinosaur size (blocked sock IP sock BLAZZE92). Sro23 (talk) 23:28, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure how this is a sockpuppet (same goes with U:Brolyeuphyfusion above). Blaze is someone I am aware of off-wiki, an I don't think WelcometoJurassicPark was a previous account of his. His edits on Ankylosaurus were actually reversions of previously unnoticed IP editing which removed information, which Blaze was simply restoring while adding an additional reference. On Giganotosaurus  his edits appear to be more similar, but he also began by asking on the article talk page about what he could do.  IJReid  discuss 00:46, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

User engages in repeated pattern of introducing original synthesis regarding dinosaur size, notably on the Giganotosaurus page where WelcometoJurassicPark previously edit-warred under sockpuppets.

However, unsure of whether this is a sockpuppet due to it having been created whilst another sock was active, and editing whilst another sock was active.

Need CheckUser to confirm if IP address originates from Hungary, as with previous socks. If not, possibly a false positive. Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 02:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Had my doubts for a long time, but I think recent edits have identified this user as a sock. Although the account appears to go a long way back on Commons, the user's recent edits fit a pattern:
 * Modifying discussions of dinosaur size to fit personal conceptions:
 * Introducing original synthesis based on unreliable sources:
 * Insistence on personal stylistic choices, including rearranging an article for the purpose of fitting an image:
 * Edit warring, including violating 3RR:
 * Modifying the Jumbo page, where another sock edited: (last sock: )
 * Making a very specific modification of the time range of Giganotosaurus: (last sock: )
 * Ignoring communication on talk pages: Lythronaxargestes (talk &#124; contribs) 17:41, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

"Size-queening" on dinosaur articles. Usage of the Benson et al. (2014) reference is congruent with previous socks. Same deal with Campione et al. (2014) ; compare. Quibbling about overprecision as well ; compare. Finally, edited on African bush elephant ; compare.
